I can't find it and I really should be doing math. I'll try to type from memory..cuz that'll save me lots of time. :P

B-6. However, if you're already sick that won't usually work well. I'd have to take it very first thing the moment I somehow didn't feel sick for it to help. lol

Seabands..those motion sickness things in the pharmacy. I haven't used them, but I do know women who have. They work for some, not for others (kind of like..oh..everything..lol)

Ginger. Some eat candied ginger, some drink *real* gingerale. That can be kind of tricky to find, sometimes the fake works ok too.

Eating very frequently. This only worked for me if I ate before I was feeling nasty though. Hard to find that time when it's an all day every day thing.

Sometimes the all the time sick can be caused, or made worse, by hypoglycemia. Eating frequent high protein snacks sometimes help. Note above about eating frequently though..heh

Oh..I just found this. I didn't read through it, but I've found good information on this site in the past. http://www.gentlebirth.org/archives/nausea.html

Have you tried skipping the prenatal vitamins? I know it's not ideal. But they made things sooooo much worse for me. If you haven't tried skipping it might be worth it to see if you can get on top of things enough for something else to help.

I was never as sick as you are, that's a miserable, and scary, place to be. I've had friends who were and my heart would just break for them, it's no fun to be so excited and so sick at the same time. Kind of kills the excitement part of having a baby. heh

Tis true. I could NOT take them at all! Any kind I took made me so so so sick!!!! I lost 60 lbs with the first and 40 with the 2nd and I dont remember now with the last but it was miserable!!!!

I took a men's multivitamin instead of the prenatals; they don't have iron and the iron makes me nauseous even when I'm not pregnant.

Oh I hear ya. Nothing whatsoever with my first baby (a boy btw). I was throwing up before I could get a postive pregnancy test with my daughter.

I hope something is helpful! Sometimes the strangest things end up helping, it's just trying the right strange things.
